Question About MM pets

[The Mighty Storm]

I've known it's possible to make model substitutions for a while, but I never wanted to until now. Someone on the CoH boards made a brief taunt the other day indicating that his (probably) mercs were malta and 5th column soldiers. The nyah nyah nyah goes without saying.

Now I have these robots, and they're shiny. But they could be shinier. For instance if they were Crey power tanks, or Rikti, or dear lord, if they were arachnos. That would be flavorful. I'm sure you, like me, are all about the flavor.

I've seen electro's site. He's got some emblems and stuff, but not what I'm looking for. For the life of me I can't find a guide or an explanation about how to do anything except customize the boombox. And I fear yahoo.

Does anyone know where I can find some info on switching out the MM pets?

Just to clarify, since I know you get alot of requests and 'omg hold my hand plz' type posts...

I have a pigg viewer. I'm viewing piggs. I can see them. They're right there, filthy swine. What I'm having trouble finding is where the MM pet configuration is. Do I need to overwrite the actual models for the MM pets with other models? Or can I get away with changing a config file somewhere that calls the model?

ok I tried renaming some jumpbot parts and then renaming some mekmen parts. In both cases all it did was make some of the MM robots disappear. It was kind of neat, but not what I was looking for. I guess there's some underlying model or structure that needs to be switched out?

this would probably be alot easier with mercs or thugs...
